This is a collection of electric and acoustic guitars, amps and effects - all of which have been meticulously tested by either MusicRadar, Guitarist, or Total Guitar in recent months and published on MusicRadar throughout February 2011.

Flick through this month's picks and follow the links to read each product's full review. Up first is Blackstar's HT Soloist 60 combo.

Verdict:

"We think the HT Soloist 60 is the best amp in the range - put it at the top of your 'must try' list."

Verdict:

LAG Tramontane T66A (£179)

Looks and performance needn't cost a packet

Verdict:

"Don't for one minute dismiss the T66A because of its laminated top. It should easily go the distance against similarly priced solid-top rivals, making it something of a snip. This Tramontane is a real find among budget folks."

Verdict:

Blackstar HT-Blackfire (£199)

Unleash the fury with this Gus G-approved valve distortion

Verdict:

"At £199, it's a pretty serious purchase, but with two channels of convincing valve tones, pro build quality, tonal flexibility via the ISF control, and that handy emulated output, this is a viable option for any rig that's in need of a sonic power-up."
